Guidelines for safe and e cient use

Exposure to radio frequency

energy

Radio wave exposure and Speci c

Absorption Rate (SAR) information

This mobile phone model GB230

has been designed to comply with

applicable safety requirements for

exposure to radio waves. These

requirements are based on scientific

guidelines that include safety

margins designed to assure the

safety of all users, regardless of age

and health.

• The radio wave exposure

guidelines employ a unit of

measurement known as the

Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.

Tests for SAR are conducted using

standardised methods with the

phone transmitting at its highest

certified power level in all used

frequency bands.

• While there may be differences

between the SAR levels of various

LG phone models, they are all

designed to meet the relevant

guidelines for exposure to radio

waves.

• The SAR limit recommended by

the International Commission on

Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection

(ICNIRP) is 2W/kg averaged over

10g of tissue.

• The highest SAR value for this

model phone tested by DASY4

for use close to the ear is 0.618

W/kg(10g) and when worn on the

body is 0.805 W/kg(10g).

• SAR data information for

residents in countries/regions

that have adopted the SAR limit

recommended by the Institute of

Electrical and Electronics Engineers

(IEEE), which is 1.6 W/kg averaged

over 1g of tissue.

17

Product care and maintenance

WARNING

Only use batteries, chargers and

accessories approved for use with this

particular phone model. The use of

any other types may invalidate any

• Keep away from electrical

appliances such as TVs, radios, and

personal computers.

mechanical vibration or shock.

• Switch off the phone in any area

where you are required by special

regulations. For example, do not use

your phone in hospitals as it may

affect sensitive medical equipment.

• Do not handle the phone with wet

hands while it is being charged. It

may cause an electric shock and can

seriously damage your phone.

• Do not to charge a handset near

flammable material as the handset

can become hot and create a fire

hazard.

Efficient phone operation

Electronics devices

• Do not use your mobile phone

near medical equipment

without requesting permission.

Avoid placing the phone over

pacemakers, i.e. in your breast

pocket.

• Some hearing aids might be

disturbed by mobile phones.

• Minor interference may affect TVs,

radios, PCs, etc.

Road safety

Check the laws and regulations on

the use of mobile phones in the area

when you drive.

• Do not use a hand-held phone

while driving.

• Give full attention to driving.

• Use a hands-free kit, if available.

• Pull off the road and park before

making or answering a call if

driving conditions so require.

• RF energy may affect some

electronic systems in your vehicle

such as car stereos and safety

equipment.

• When your vehicle is equipped

with an air bag, do not obstruct

with installed or portable wireless

equipment. It can cause the air bag

to fail or cause serious injury due

to improper performance.

• If you are listening to music whilst

out and about, please ensure that

the volume is at a reasonable

level so that you are aware of your

surroundings. This is particularly

imperative when near roads.

Avoid damage to your hearing

Damage to your hearing can occur

if you are exposed to loud sound for

long periods of time. We therefore

recommend that you do not turn on

or off the handset close to your ear.

We also recommend that music and

call volumes are set to a reasonable

level.

Blasting area

Do not use the phone where blasting

is in progress. Observe restrictions,

and follow the rules and regulations.

Guidelines for safe and e cient use (Continued)

as your mobile phone and

accessories.

In aircraft

Wireless devices can cause

interference in aircraft.

• Turn your mobile phone off before

boarding any aircraft.

• Do not use it on the ground

without permission from the crew.

Children

Keep the phone in a safe place out of

the reach of small children.

It includes small parts which may

cause a choking hazard if detached.

Emergency calls

Emergency calls may not be available

under all mobile networks. Therefore,

you should never depend solely on the

phone for emergency calls. Check with

your local service provider.

Battery information and care

• You do not need to completely

discharge the battery before

recharging. Unlike other battery

systems, there is no memory

effect that could compromise the

battery’s performance.

• Use only LG batteries and chargers.

LG chargers are designed to

maximize the battery life.

• Do not disassemble or short-circuit

the battery pack.

• Keep the metal contacts of the

battery pack clean.

• Replace the battery when it

no longer provides acceptable

performance. The battery pack

maybe recharged hundreds of

times until it needs replacing.
